Your daily cat and kitten news

Moonie spent the night outdoors by accident last night. Went to see to the chickens this morning and she was sitting outside the back door :( I feel really bad and have given her lots of treats. Her meow's so tiny nobody heard her. She was probably there all night, poor baby. Shows that she really can't use the cat flap though!
 
Had an intruder cat for the first time yesterday. Went downstairs to see our one had cornered it in the kitchen with no escape route. Decided the best course of action was to pick up the intruder and take it into the hallway and shove it out the side door catflap. Was a bit wary it wouldn't like being picked up though but it just kinda meekly froze and allowed me to carry it through the house.

Our cat, who was rehomed with us because "she won't tolerate other cats", then decided that me carrying stranger cat through the house was a serious threat and started shrieking and attacking my legs. Managed to make it to the cat flap with rescued cat who shot out but now have some leg injuries to show for it. :rolleyes:
 
Had to rescue a tiny little mouse from Mousch yesterday. She had completely in her mouth at one point but didn't seem to have drawn blood. It was moving pretty bloody fast and still squeaking so I put a glass over it and carried it out to the garden. Where it probably won't have survived but I wasn't sure what else to do with it.

It may well be fine, they can be amazingly gentle when they want to be.

Yes, it looked scared but unscathed. I was more worried about a house mouse surviving in the wilderness of our garden.

We found a small mouse dead on our bed a few weeks ago, again no visible injuries so I think it may have died of fright.
 
I think Doris has acquired an attitude

People with multiple cats - how do you handle mealtimes? When it was just the two brothers, it was fine feeding them together. Now there are three, and Carpet is a right gannet who comes running at any sign of food. Dylan is missing out somewhat, especially when it comes to wet food (he prefers dry). He's not exactly thin though, and Hendrix is as chunky as ever.

Set mealtimes twice a day. One shut in the bedroom, one shut in the sitting room, the other one (greedy, food-aggressive sod who would balloon if we let him have access to other cats' food) in a large dog crate in the sitting room. (The dog crate is just for during mealtimes so 15 minutes twice a day to stop him going after the others' food while they are eating).

Jangles has a history of getting herself stuck over a wall by our garden which has resulted in Benny Hill style scenes involving ladders, old bookshelves and our neighbour climbing trees. She got stuck again today and as it was getting dark we had to leave it for the night. She knocked on the back door a few minutes ago so she has finally worked out how to get herself back over. Hurrah!

Sonic was horrified by the gale force winds battering rain against the windows and blowing stuff around outside on Sunday night and has been even more clingy than usual since :facepalm:

It didn't help that the wind was forcing rain to pool outside where the window meets the frame and in the kitchen was leaking through so that one of the kitchen counters was running with water - he gets quite agitated at the prospect of anything to do with water and even gets nervous when the washing machine is running because he can hear the water running into it! (Nice DIY job for me sealing the gap properly when the weather dries up a bit :rolleyes: ).
 
I follow someone on twitter who is a cat lover. I don't know her personally, but she's one of those I enjoy seeing posts from and I consider one of my 'regular follows' iyswim.

Anyway, she just posted that one of her cats died, and idk why but I just instantly burst into tears. It's always sad when someone else's pets pass on, but I have to admit it's rare I cry unless it brings up memories of Charlie or it comes with a particularly moving set of circumstances. That's not to say I don't care, but I am rarely moved to cry.

But hers was just a short message saying RIP George, you'll be missed... and it hit me right here *points at the place where feelings are stored*

Poor George. He was a beautiful little thing.

I decided to do a Periscope of two of our cats. Over two hundred people tuned in.

At first I thought, "who would watch video of two cats doing nothing at all?" And then I thought, "I bet it's quite calming for people who don't have cats themselves but who want cats, and they can live vicariously through this video." Then I spent 5 minutes watching the whole of the video while my own cat is happily asleep in another room. :facepalm:
